Elastin antibody

Positive Control: Colon: A moderate to strong elastin immunostaining should be seen of fibres in the lamina propria, around smooth muscle cells of the muscularis mucosae, and in blood vessels (subendothelial) . Negative Control: Colon: Elastin immunostaining should be absent in all epithelial cells. Cellular Localization: Extracellular Protocol Recommendations: Manual Protocol: Freshly cut sections should be used (less than 10 days between cutting and staining) . Heat-induced antigen retrieval for 5 minutes in an autoclave at 121°C in pH 7.8 Target Retrieval Solution buffer. Apply the antibody at a dilution of 1:150 at 37°C for 60 minutes. Visualization of bound antibody by the EnVision Kit (Dako, Agilent) according to the manufacturer’s directions.
